speakup slackware question

[Jude DaShiell]

My main linux box will shortly be converted from ide to sata.  For 
Slackware 13.37 if speakup.s can be used to install onto a sata drive what 
additional drivers will be needed to accommodate sata properly?  If 
speakup.s should not be used to install onto a sata drive or cannot be 
used to install onto a sata drive I'd like to know that too and why.  If 
this proves to be a serious road block, I'll have to cancel my slackware 
subscription.
